Dear Henry
Fear not!!
At the School of Healthcare Professions, University of Brighton, England we
teach concepts from Maitland, McKenzie, Mulligan, Edwards, Elvey, Butler,
Travell & Simons, Jull, Richardson, Hodges, Hides, Kaltenborn, Cyriax to
undergraduate physiotherapy students.
We teach the clinical reasoning put forward by Maitland which is described
theoretically by Jones.
We teach examination, assessment, treatment and management of joints, nerves
and muscles.
I think you may well find this to be true at other Schools of Physiotherapy
throughout the UK.
Radical or what?!
